Bangkok West - Thai restaurant in Roseburg - 2521 W Harvard Ave, USA

After reading quite a few reviews, and seeing one other Thai place in town was closed for now, I thought to give this place a try. We drove there for dinner, so it was dark out. The parking lot as we approached was so dark, we almost missed the turn into the lot. It didn't seem like a single lot light was on. Thankfully, the restaurant has a large bright sign to act as a lighthouse. Upon entering, the lady in the back was very friendly, and said to sit wherever. I believe she was the owner based on other photo's I've seen. The place was decorated, and not plain walls like you find at some strip mall asian restaurants. So it was a nice change of pace. I thought it odd that the menu was under a glass cover on the table. But I suppose that makes it easier for the staff, both in not needing to bring menus to and from, or keep them clean, but with the glass, cleanup is easier. There is a large assortment of Chinese and Thai items on the menu. Which gives you plenty to chose from. I ordered Combo #7, and my friend had the Pad Thai. He LOVES spicy, and when the waiter said they season on the hot side, he picked 4 (from 1 to 5), and he said it was plenty spicy. He usually likes things 'Thai Hot' or 5. So this says something. His only complaint was the ratio of chicken to noodle. But he confessed that Pad Thai is a noodle dish, and the chicken is an adder. He enjoyed his plate. My plate was the Combo #7 with breaded white meat chicken pieces, fried shrimp, a spring roll and fried rice. The chicken comes with this pink sauce, which in my opinion is akin to a fry sauce. Nothing overly asian about it, but it wasn't bad. The chicken to my enjoyment was cooked well. It was juicy, and tender, and was real chicken meat, and not pulverized chicken like a nugget. The breading wasn't overbearing, just enough. Same with the shrimp. The spring roll was pretty basic. Not a lot of flavor, but wasn't bad. The fried rice is I think my only real complaint, but this goes on par with the rest of my dish. When I get a fried rice, I'm expecting color to show how much spice and seasoning has been added. This was basically white rice that was fried a little with a few added veggies. The rice was cooked well. Not dry, or overdone, and not undercooked or stiff. That said, I wish they added much more ginger, or garlic, onion powder... something. It wasn't bad... just not special. Overall that was my experience. The food was good, but average. Not bad, just middle of the road. If you wanted to introduce someone to asian, this would be a good place to start before stepping them up to the heavily seasoned locations. I might try them again, and try a different dish. Maybe it was just what I ordered. As I said... there is a lot to chose from. Maybe their chef is better at other dishes. Otherwise, the Jasmin tea was great, the staff was very friendly, and it was a nice place.

We've been enjoying this wonderful restaurant for a while now. It's well worth stopping in. The people are great and the food is amazing. We really like the red curry, definitely a favorite.

Delicious food! Owner is super friendly and works very hard! Huge menu! Lunch specials are delicious and very great prices! They open at 11:00 am!

I tried this place a few months ago after hearing “best Thai food in town” and “it’s my favorite it’s so good.” I am a Thai food addict. I was so disappointed. The food was bland. Zero flavor and zero spice even after asking for it to be spicy. We hardly touched our food but hate wasting so we brought it home. The next day I recooked it and seasoned it to make it edible. We tried pad Thai, rice and an appetizer that I can’t remember what it was. Might give them another shot in the future since they have been around for forever and maybe it was a bad day for them. I’ll update my review if my opinion changes.

Amazing pad thai! Their soup is incredible and the owner is one of the sweetest ladies you'll ever meet! Pictures of Chicken Pad Thai (#1) Chow Main & Mar Far Chicken (#13) Mar Far Chicken & Fried Rice (#9) Thai Milk Tea Prawn & Chicken w/ white rice 😋

We love to eat there, owner very friendly, and the young man that works as a waiter is energetic and a pleasure to talk with. The food is great, we go there for birthdays. We're lucky is in our neighborhood.

I had the chicken chow fun and it was 80 percent noodles. The picture is what was left over.

Good food, good service, good atmosphere. Service was pretty quick, very friendly, and accurate. I'll definitely be back.
